I guess Ts sometimes tell us we're resistant to try and get a reaction. Sometimes that reaction is not therapeutic however. Previous T telling me I was resistant sent me spiraling. I tried so hard to do it right, not to be a nuisance and held back as much as I could. In short, it made me even more resistant as well as upset and frustrated because she wouldn't tell me what she wanted me to do. We spent the better part of six months with her saying and doing hurtful things to try and trigger me and me smiling and pretending it didn't hurt and I could handle it.
Resistance is unconscious. If you didn't have a problem with it you wouldn't be in therapy. Tell your T to stop trying to pull that sh^t on you. It's confusing and it's unfair IMNSHO.
